THE TRUMP CARD.

42.--The dealer, when it is his turn to play to the first trick, should

take the trump card into his hand; if left on the table after the second

trick be {174} turned and quitted, it is liable to be called.[58] His

partner may at any time remind him of the liability.

43.--After the dealer has taken the trump card into his hand, it must not

be asked for; a player naming it at any time during the play of that hand,

is liable to have his highest or lowest trump called. Such call cannot be

repeated. Any player may at any time inquire what the trump suit is.

44.--If the dealer take the trump card into his hand before it is his turn

to play, he may be desired to lay it on the table; should he show a wrong

card, this card may be called, as also a second, a third, &c., until the

trump card be produced.

45.--If the dealer declare himself unable to recollect the trump card, his

highest or lowest trump may be called at any time during that hand, and,

unless it cause him to revoke, must be played; the call may be repeated,

but not changed (_i.e._ from highest to lowest, or _vice versa_) until such

card is played.
